What to do with that knife? Scary moment to decide to switch to a bigger "stick". If you have room to evade, do that! It would be good if you had already practiced switching weapons befor you attempt it under stress. I'm right handed but like a left front stance, just feels more natural for me ...

"play"

Dear Mr. Janich, Please excuse my ignorance, I've yet to see or read any of your instructional materials, Sad really!
